What Are Higher Education Mini-Grants?
NASA is increasingly interested in the development of the future workforce for the science, technology, engineering, and related fields. Higher Education Mini-Grants are available for innovative projects and programs that will retain or impact students in such academic fields at the college or university level. It is the goal of these mini-grants to encourage students to pursue careers in these fields after they graduate, contributing to the scientific workforce. Mini-grant funding is not intended for sustaining funding; rather it is intended to support a project or program for one year, allowing the project or program to grow and obtain more permanent funding elsewhere. Who Is Eligible to Apply? Faculty and staff at participating NASA Nebraska Space Grant college and university affiliates are eligible to apply for Higher Education Mini-Grants. Community and non-profit organizations with an interest in implementing an aerospace or STEM-related project at the college or university level
